The Best In His Field

Mr. Marutzky is without peer in his area of expertise. He was able to help my company through a very difficult situation and I will be eternally grateful. Do not hesitate to engage him for all your tax related needs.

Estate Plan Advice

Mr. Marutzky provided me with information on my current Estate Plan which I never realized I needed. He articulated the all of the legal terminology in language I could understand. He also gave me some good advice regarding tax ramifications. I wish I had spoken with him earlier. I definitely would ...hire him, since he was honest and direct in his comments.

Extremely knowledgeable, experienced and gracious legal practitioner.

Mr. Marutzky, or as I know him – Bill, is a consummate professional attorney. His expertise is great and his knowledge encompasses almost all facets of the legal issues he so well solves. I have seen him volunteer at legal clinics as a pro bono attorney to help people under financial duress, and he ...has addressed matters for individuals and corporations that enter into another stratosphere of understanding. Bill knows and understands the various tax and legal codes that prevent other lawyers bringing a case to a close. Mr. Marutzky is highly recommended. He has earned high regard from his peers and great respect from the bench. You should have no reservations in hiring this man to represent you and in him finding a solution for your problem.

Terrific assistance in a difficult situation

I was refereed to Mr. Marutzky to get assistance in dealing with a potential bankruptcy. He provided excellent assistance which allowed me to get through a very difficult and trying situation. He is easy to work with, knows his business and does his job well.

business formation and family trust

In the process of starting a new business, I realized that I needed to incorporate trusts to hold certain assets from the sale of my last business. My will was out of date and Bill was thoughtful enough to ask whether it needed refreshing. I had spoken with a local estate planning attorney who was n...ot as creative or thorough, did not recognize several of the issues which Bill brought up, and was too busy to explain why he made the structure suggestions that he did. I'm glad I called Bill, and was lucky to find that he understands liability protection offered in the various states in which I will be doing business. In addition to giving me a path to protect my assets, he was able to advise me on the various tax ramifications of using a limited liability company rather than a subchapter S corporation which would have been a disaster for me I if I had followed the other attorney's advice.
